Erica Iyere

With over five years of experience as a Content Writer, social media manager and communications coordinator. I have collaborated with top-tier brands in various niches, such as technology, finance, health, business, EDI and lifestyle, to produce content that drives traffic, leads, and conversions. 

I have extensive knowledge of SEO, keyword analysis, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator, which I use to optimize and tailor content to diverse target audience and market. 

I am passionate about bridging the gap between the brand, its audience, and the general public, and I am excited to connect, collaborate, and contribute to the ever-expanding content-writing industry and knowledge-sharing community.
